Rather than performing in a dingy setting battling chatty audiences, this beloved venue stage showcases each artist like they’re a headliner. It’s first-come, first-serve, with doors opening at 7pm (check the calendar to see which Monday or Tuesday night of the month it lands on), and enjoy the appreciative vibes in a beautiful setting. by Linda Koffman Linda Koffman is an SF-based freelance writer and editor. Also a beginner gardener by day/performing songwriter by night, she feels grateful to live a life of extremes balancing plenty of contemplative silence with rocking out in a band. When not writing, she keeps her hands busy (and dirty) with old guitar strings and soil, and enjoys engaging with the Bay Area’s diverse environmental and cultural beauty. She loves puns to a fault and shamelessly laughs at her own jokes. Subscribe. Follow. Share.
